Gnilane is a young and accomplished Senegalese-American woman living happily in cosmopolitan New York City. As she approaches her thirties, still single, she has an opportunity to take a sabbaticalfrom work and spend 6 months with her family in her native Senegal, where she is confronted with her family's pressure to get married, her two distinct cultural identities and the norms of her Toucouleur culture. She grapples with navigating love and relationships, finding her voice, traditions, modernism, and the overwhelming value that is placed on marriage for a woman in her culture.
